The title and description is wrong, amazon mixed up with the another item, we already report to Amazon, the system inclueded 4 cameras, not wireless! This is POE system.

Ron,I sent mind back. I bought Hixvision DS-2CD2432F-IW, a better camera with POE, largest maker of cameras, better support -Nellys has sales + support +videos. Perhaps explain what you did in detail someone can help you. YouTube is very helpful too.

Yes. This should work with no problem. Just don't plug the feed side into a network switch and the camera shouldn't even know the Ethernet has anything connected camera side.

I agree with Steven. The camera is fine. Jason apparently has not set it up correctly. The CD that came with my camera installs, but nothing happens when I run it. However, it is not necessary for installation if you know your way around networks. Also, the zip file mentioned by others is corrupt.

Never had ANY issue with these units. Purchased many 4 and 8 port models. Intermixed with IP Camera and/or IP Phones. NEVER and issue. Suggest you use a qualified tester to ensure the ethernet cables end to end as this could be the cause. Sorry that I could not be of more assistance.

I am not sure. All of my 3 cams with the exception of one wirelessly communicate to one of my Windows Servers. The other is plugged into a WiFi adapter via Ethernet and communicates that way with the server. Overall, having them though for almost a year now, they still work great, as expected.Hope this helps.

These cameras are wired. It's a pain, but the wireless ones were interfering with my wifi.

They are not wireless. These cameras require a cat-5 cable and can be ran using Power over Ethernet. They also come with an AC adapter if you do not have a POE switch. Picture quality is excellent!

Hardwire , all wireless camera's. Because, if you are in a wireless environment that has muliple AP, it will drop in and out. Also, buy hardwiring, you could go with a POE camera and switch, with one cable.... Last thing, make sure when using POE, that both the camera and switch voltage is the same 48v I have come across cameras that use 24v and 24v only switches. And that was my two cents.....

This Is An IP Wireless Camera! Once you set it up it can be accessed on your home network or via the web with proper configuration!

I bought the ip cam viewer app and was able to set it up see it on the same network but once I leave the network it wont work. Something about the ip address not being static but always changing. I was unsuccessful in setting up the record either since I'm not an IT guy. I think unless you really know networking it's pretty complicated for a noob like myself. There are couple of free ip camera viewers out there so check it out. I'm able to view, pan, and tilt with the one I got. Just wish I knew how to take advantage of the full potential. Sorry I couldn't have been a better help.

Dear IT Boss,Thank you for inquiry.This ip camera support many kinds of poe switch, you could check it our link of poe switch;BW® 4-ports 10/100M Desktop PoE SwitchIf you need to connect 4pcs ip cameras, then 4 ports poe switch is good, if over 4pcs, then we suggest 8 ports poe switch.Any further information feel free to contact us.Best regards,Teresa

The switch seems to handle the three POE ip cams i have installed just fine. "foscams" Which cameras are you going to use? I also have Blue IRIS insalled on a PC. Blue Iris does a decent job at managing the cameras, but i have noticed that performce is weak when trying to do continues recording from 3 cameras. Some of that may be the pc im using but i am unwilling to invest in a new computer for just the purpose of running the cameras. There is not a lot of documentation with the software and its not very intuitive. I have 4 total and it will work with a wide verity of cameras. I dont have any experience with NVR's. I have looked into them but they seem pretty pricy. If you have not bought any cameras or equipment yet, I would strongly point you in the direction of CCTV systems. You can easily get a system for the same cost of buying 4 POE cameras. I wish someone had told me this before i got started. You will still be required to pull the cable to cameras either way. I think the upside with CCTV would be that the dVR is doing all the recording continusly. They do a great "Superior" job at what they are designed to do. PC based systems are kind of shakey at this price point. In most cases you can record up to two weeks worth at a time, with several cameras with a DVR system and have alerts sent and motion triggers. I have seen the difference in between my setup and two different CCTV systems. One of them "lorex" and the second "swan" If I had it to do all over again i would go with CCTV. Id buy a 4 camera set with a dVR with room to expand up to 8 cameras. I started with one camera and now have four. Its good to have room to grow. Just FYI I have seen a 4 camera setup with 4, 700 lines of resolution cameras for less or close then what your going to spend on POE. One last note you will also be able to remote monitor with your smart phone or web browser just like using POE and Blue Iris. More info then you wanted I know, but just my 2 cents!

Larry,Each POE IP camera requires a dedicated Ethernet 5/6 cable. Can't split pairs... Good luck

This camera operates on the 2.4 GHZ band. However it is not an IP camera. It is switch selectable between two different frequencies of four allotrd by the FCC for this type of equipment. Also be aware the signal is not digitally encoded.However I have had no interferance with my wireless router or other home network devices while operating these cameras 24 hours a day. i hope this information is helpfull.

Jason--did you ever find out the answer to your question regarding 2 cameras/1 monitor? I'd like an answer to that as it could be a deal maker or breaker.

No it only has one Ethernet port and 16 cctv connections. For IP cameras you might want to look into an NVR
